It's so easy to say Thank You to our troops. You can spot them everywhere, but especially in airports. When you're traveling during the holidays, carry a few $5 Starbuck's gift cards with you. (I choose Starbuck's because you can find one in almost every airport and on many posts.)
Every time I see a person in military uniform, I approach, get eye contact, extend my right hand to shake theirs, and say, "Thank you for your service." Then I give them a gift card and ask them to have a cup of coffee on me.
It's incredible how this small gesture can make such a difference. I feel good and they feel respected. Sometimes, I visit for a few minutes if they are alone.
